Samsung's announcement of the Exynos 1080 was a surprise as it came unexpectedly. We soon figured out that it is not the much-awaited flagship Exynos 2100 that will be debuting in the Galaxy S21 series, but a mid-ranger appearing in several Vivo devices.
However, that does not change the fact that Samsung still makes it, so naturally, we did see some comparisons with the Snapdragon 865+ in which the Exynos 1080 was a clear winner, and that had our hopes up high because Samsung had been struggling with catching up to what the Snapdragon series of chips.
After the initial comparisons between the older generations, things went quiet for a while until today. Today, the Exynos 1080 appears again inside a Vivo X60 (Codename: V2047A), and it has shown up on Geekbench 5, and the results are impressive, say the least for a chip that is not even flagship.
